I'm not sure whether you're trolling, but if you think that Tor
is not being abused or can be made abuse-proof I'd like to smoke
what you've been smoking.

If you want to do something against bot nets (operators 
of which don't give a damn about Tor, since they can form their 
own communication networks -- afaik they haven't even bothered
building private Tor networks) then you try contacting somebody 
at Microsoft.
